Hey - only reading to satisfy a reading challenge category! Yeah, the titles make me giggle as much as offends my sensibilities #sigh

#AsheCoReadingChallenge category Sports Romance #WhoKnew?!

Tbh, the NYPG is pretty awful; TW for assault and another TW for women who think such behavior is sexy. PB is better so far but I‘m not sure you should trust me on that. #noExcuses

AmyG YES. I am obsessed. I was waiting for someone to post about it on here. 1mo
BkClubCare @AmyG - yay! 1mo
xicanti Loved the first season (even though I found the visuals so boring, which I know was deliberate but YEAH). When S2‘s done, I‘ll probably get Apple TV for a month just to see it. 1mo

AmyG @xicanti Season 2 is amazing. You will need to see it. 1mo
KAO I really found season 1 fascinating! I‘m looking forward to resubscribing to Apple+ to binge all of season 2 eventually. I‘ve enjoyed the “Severance” podcast (revisiting season 1 with Ben Stiller, Adam Scott and others) while I wait! https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-severance-podcast-with-ben-stiller-ada...

sarahbarnes Someone just recommended this to me and I‘m very intrigued. 1mo
BkClubCare @sarahbarnes - I dreamt all about work-life balance last night 😳 4w
BkClubCare @KAO Thanks for the link 🔗, it‘s a wild ride, for sure. 4w
BkClubCare @xicanti - I watched a few eps of S1 while D was traveling but it took some convincing him we both need to watch. Now we are in over our heads 😂 4w
BkClubCare @AmyG - I know there are YouTubers exploring every aspect; I think I might be too scared to have the Waffle 🧇 Dinner explained (edited) 4w
AmyG @KAO My daughter said to listen to the podcast. @BkClubCare There are so many theories out there. Makes my head spin! 4w

Just started a reread of this when 3 books came off hold at the same time. 😐 #sigh
Image is a cut out for some kind of snowflake?! I forget. Colors match the book cover 🤣

Mehso-so

This was a book that absolutely did not grab my attention, I sensed an unreliable narrator who does things that make no sense; I went into it thinking it might be a devastating immigrant story, but once I put it down and then a few days go by, and then when I do open it back up with low motivation and hit a snag (drawn curtains are closed! Not open), WHAT DO I Do? I find many of my friends loved it. #sigh A case of “it‘s me, not the book.”

Still working on this one. Still not sure why. My Kobo says I have 3.3 hours to go (54% done). I want to know what happens, but I'm a little worried it will feel like I've wasted my time. Not that being comfy with book, tea, and slippers is ever a *total* waste of time.

Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks Love your mug! ☕️ 2mo
ImperfectCJ @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks Thanks! It was a birthday present from my mom! 2mo
BkClubCare I am having the same questions abt Someone Like Us - do I keep going? Will I *really* miss something profound if I skim/give-up-now? Is it me or the book?! #sigh 2mo

I really don‘t know what to say about this one. The writing is good and there‘s some genuinely good humor in it, but for some reason Greathead clearly believed we needed a book about a mediocre white guy skating through life believing far more of himself than he should. We can see that all around us, why do we need to read it? #TOB25

squirrelbrain Oh dear 😬 I‘ve requested this from the library (it‘s not out until the end of the month) but I doubt they‘ll get it in. I really don‘t want to have to buy it. 2mo
Hooked_on_books @squirrelbrain Don‘t buy it! Unless you enjoy nausea. Just skip it if you have to. Believe me, this is not the one to be a completist about. 2mo

AmyG Thanks for the heads up. 2mo
squirrelbrain Ohhhh, but it hurts not to be a completist. 🤪😬 2mo
cariashley @squirrelbrain ha I feel that! Audio was good for this one - just put it on in the background! 2mo
squirrelbrain Yes, I thought I might do audio @cariashley but it‘s not on Everand (yet) and I may resent using a credit from Audible or Libro.fm. 🤦‍♀️ The struggle is real! 🤪 2mo
cariashley @squirrelbrain completely understand that. Would not recommend wasting a credit, I‘m glad it was available at my library! 2mo
GatheringBooks Lols. Loooove the description! 2mo
DogMomIrene You‘re the 3rd or 4th Litten I‘ve seen who‘s really not liked this book. Thanks for the warning! 2mo
BkClubCare I‘ve just started this and have been a‘feared of such a post. Will sacrifice a credit anyway #sigh 🤷🏻‍♀️ 2mo
Hooked_on_books @BkClubCare Good luck with it! Maybe you can hate read it. 😂 2mo
BkClubCare @Hooked_on_books - hasn‘t not crossed my mind. 🧠 2mo

I am trying to DNF this extremely interesting, sex-heavy, weird and kinda icky book. #sigh
Connected short stories? Or thematically-related, I cannot say. But UNCOMFORTABLE comes to mind readily.

#Dec2024 Book 118
“… affirmations to the sky full blast: I am ill! I am chill! I am phat! I am fly! I am clutch! I am fetch! I am based! I am bae! I am slae! I am cray!…”

(Prefer Mrs. Nash: I am a delight.) IF you read this, eBook is best 👇

BkClubCare because then you can more easily check back for how these connect. Imo 3mo
fredthemoose I recently finished this one and was texting my sister about it being wacky 3mo
BkClubCare @fredthemoose - definitely outside my typical fare 3mo
BarbaraBB Uncomfortable indeed. I dnf some of the stories. 3mo

#WondrousWednesday @Eggs

1. An all-day cold and gentle rain. Matt and I are in the den with the windows open (of course zero rain would come inside). A warm fire would be blazing while we cozily sit on our wrap-around couch with our two GSD's, Kate & Pip on the couch with us. We'd be drinking hot-buttered rum and would be snuggled under fuzzy blankets. #sigh
2. I'm looking forward to finishing SOVEREIGN with the #ShardlakeSeriesBR.

Just another reminder that I have been wanting to read Renault‘s *The King Must Die*

Updated: this is a passage from WE COULD BE SO GOOD by Cat Sebastian which I should probably have tagged instead. #sigh

What are you reading?

ChaoticMissAdventures @BkClubCare it has some drawings at the section breaks! Unfortunately the writing isn't meshing with me at all. 7mo
BkClubCare @ChaoticMissAdventures - oh darn. My current audiobook is (ahem) below my favorite reading level, methinks. Weighing the decision to bail or not. #sigh 7mo
